 Resilience in the Dealer Sector, A Mid-Year Review presents the results of research on the global dealer sector carried out by Arts Economics in 2021. This research aims to provide some initial feedback on how the dealer sector has fared in the first half of 2021, focusing on employment and sales. As sales have continued to move online, and more art is sold outside of the traditional gallery and dealer framework, this report also offers an opportunity to reflect on why collectors still prefer to buy from dealers and the critical roles they play and value they add to the art market in 2021. It is based on a global survey of dealers conducted by Arts Economics in July 2021.
